Unfortunately, I don't have THAT many great 4 diamond cards I can give, but I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

Also, 1 other card I could probably also ask for is a Ralts with Teleport: I have Ralts with Lead, but I'm not sure if it's mor euseful than Teleport Ralts.

I'll try my best to cover every generation this change impacts.

So, what exactly changes here?

Well, firstly, Gengar's no longer weak to Psychic. With its bulk, it may be able to survive a Psychic or 2, and hit back hard with its own special attacks. In Gens 1-3, Gengar doesn't really use its stab moves anyway. Also, in Gen 3, Misdreavus is bulky enough to survive a Psychic, so Gengar should be fine as well. Gen 4 and onward, Gengar can finally use its stab Shadow Ball to threaten any Psychic lead mon there may be. Gens 5-7, Gengar is still a powerhouse, but it still gets threatened by Pursuit. However, Gen 8 and onward, that's no longer an issue, as he can now freely spam his best move without concequence. Bonus points for getting Nasty Plot as well.

Secondly, Gengar's no longer weak to Ground moves. (mainly Earthquake, because, that's what matters most) Now, even with this change, I doubt Gengar can even survive it, but I'm sure he CAN tank at least 1 hit. This doesn't really matter in Gens 3-6, because, well, Gengar has Levitate there, meaning Ground moves don't hit it at all, but it makes you wonder if GameFreak would still remove this ability from him, if he wasn't Poison-type.

Thirdly, this most likely makes his Mega form even more busted, simply because you can't use things like EQ and Psychic to deal with it as easily. You'd always need 1 or more Dark types on your team to deal with it. Strictly talking about Ubers here, of course. They wouldn't let this thing terrorize OU in any generation, surely.

Gastly, mostly in LC formats, is incredibly strong to begin with, so removing 2 of its weaknesses just makes it even more difficult to beat, so maybe it wouldn't stay in the format once Pursuit is removed. Or, hey, it very well could get banned eariler.

Haunter, I suppose, would have some niches, being a somewhat better Misdreavus, but I'm all too familiar with its competitive career.

I only need 1 more of each card in the 1st pic, except for Baxcalibur & Dragonite, whom I need 2 of.

As for my cards, I'd like to keep 2 copies of my own for each. (basically not going past 2)

"wdym by offensive language?" I'm sure you can figure it out, pal.

Some of these teams don't really work how I want them to, but, what the heck?

There is a WHOLE LOT of things that go into making a pocket monster creature your favorite thing of all time:

- someone likes just the design(s)

- someone likes them solely because of the anime

- someone likes them due to competitive use

- someone just had fond memories from a playthrough

- heck, could be all the above I've mentioned

Honestly, I'm just glad to know that EVERY Pokémon has a fan out there doing their best to support it. Yes, even something like [insert Pokémon u don't like here].

Belle and Sage fulfill the same niche to me: being a creation of Dr. Egmman, that he sees as a daughter. Sure, in Belle's case, it's kind of twisted, but you get my point.

So, my question is: who came first exactly?

I'm not exactly sure when Sage was being developed, but I know Belle was roughly conceptualized some time before the ending of Metal Virus arc.

What do y'all think tho?

Overall, I did like the entire series as a whole. The chemistry between our hero & villain duos was great, Ben's friends were great as well, Alien X vs Divinity was genuinely the most creative fight, ever, the Ghost Duo (or, rather trio) teaming against said Divinity was also a spectatle, and Zim was used when he needed to be. (even tho I never really cracked a smile at any of his antics)

​

Now, a long time ago, I heard Kuro mention that the ending would have been controversial, and I took that as "oh, Divinity's going to win, isn't he?" While that's not what ended up happening in the end, I was mentally preparing myself if that WERE to be the case. However, the ending was, surprisingly, positive, deapite my initial belief.

​

If I had SOMETHING to nitpick about, it'd be Orion Squad: just like Zim, they fulfilled their roles, and the small piece of action they got before fighting Divinity was neat to watch, but I do wish they had maybe ONE more battle with someone else; maybe Animo could've stayed around, and the squad had to deal with him, and prevent him from doing something with Ben. However, overall, they were fine for what they were.

​

I guess the controversial part was Ben not participating (from what I gathered), which, I didn't mind honestly. This WAS Daniel's story afterall (and Vlad's to an extent); yes, Ben felt like a guest character, but I didn't mind it all that much.

​

I'd honestly give the series an 8/10: it has hicc-ups, but if you're willing to look past said hicc-ups, you'll find an incredible series behind it, with great characterization and action to boot.

​

Shoutouts and salutes to Kuro, his friends, colleagues, and everyone else who contributed to this piece of art, and may Dwanye and Derrick rest in paradise.

I will fight you on some of these, you have been warned.

​

One ship I've seen pop up recently is Tails x Sage, and I'm not sure how to feel about it: mostly, I'm kind of weirded out, but, in some VERY SPECIFIC CONTEXTS, I can see it working out.

I really tried my best to not be biased, but I couldn't help myself. If I REALLY was super biased, I would haved removed some of the more popular Capcom characters (throwing shade at Strider Hiryu), but I chose not to do so.

​

Marvel fans, I apologize if your favorite X-Men didn't make it in; I' sure we can have a compromise of some sort.
